[Theme: Hey Cookie] Big Gap at Top of Posts and Other Little Things…

    Hi Caroline,

    First let me say, thank you for creating a great WP template. I’m nowhere near as good with coding as you, so without the support of people like you who make their templates available to people like me, I’d probably have a blog that looks like it was created in 1998 – complete with flashing text!

    The issue that I can seem to resolve is this; at the top of each of my posts there is a large gap. As if someone had gone in an typed a whole bunch of returns. I can’t figure out how to make my posts appear without this gap appearing before the start of the post. Any help resolving this would be greatly appreciated.

    Also, can you tell me which code I need to remove so that the dates of the postings don’t appear in the rollover of the posting boxes on the homepage?

    Lastly, where can I find the minigrid widget that appears on your demo page? Do I have to import it via FTP vs. auto install?

    Thanks again in advance for the help, Caroline!

    Warm regards,

    Nick Termini

    PS: love your pictures!

    Hi Nick, thank you! Glad you like the theme (and my pictures! :))

    First, I highly recommend creating a child theme for your changes. That way any modifications you make will be preserved across theme updates.

    I think the gap is related to post thumbnail display on single posts, but I’ve removed that in the next release (which I’m hoping will be available here soon!) You can hide it temporarily by adding this code in your child theme’s style.css:

    .post-thumb-header-image {
   display: none;
}

    You can also hide the dates from the home page by adding this:

    .big-grid-thumbnail .postmetadata small {
   display: none;
}

    I recommend using Firebug or a similar browser addon for these sorts of changes. You can right-click and “Inspect” your website to target exactly what CSS you want to modify, adding rules to your child theme’s style.css.

    And the Mini Grid widget can be found under Appearance -> Widgets.

    Hope this helps!
